A professor dug his old quicksilver (M8493) out of storage (been there about 6 months) and it wouldn't start at all. Pressed the power button, it flashed, then went off. Fans didn't even start up. It had been running fine when it was put away.
I suspected the PRAM battery, so we replaced to to no avail. I took the battery out, pressed the CUDA switch, and left it over night. Came in this morning, plugged the battery back in, pressed the CUDA switch once, turned it on. Now it bongs, the fans rev up, then it shuts down again. Is this a bad PS or what? I've not got a lot of experience with this particular model..this is the one with the weird-a** power supply, too, right? -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
